The Kalamazoo County Office of Community Corrections receives approximately 2 million
dollars annually in community corrections funding from the State of Michigan, Office of
Community Corrections. This funding is available through Public Act 511, the Community
Corrections Act, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining programs that provide
alternatives to incarceration. Programs and services are designed using a rehabilitative
approach, with careful consideration for public safety. Community Corrections programming
has been in place in Kalamazoo County since 1990.
